Stoeks-The new week on the Stock
Exchange opened without change in
the speculative situation, and the
market was again dull and feature
less, with the transactions retaining
the same professional character. The
dealings for the most part possessed no
significance, being principally the
scalping operations of the room
traders, although there was some lit
tie selling for foreign account early in
the day. The only special features
Were the strength in Fort Worth and
Denver, Texas Pacific and Hooking
Val ey, and the weakness in Reading
and Pacific Mail. Rumors were cur
r,nt that a consolidation Of the
Fort Worth and Denver with
the Missouri Pacific was pos
sible, but other statements were
to the effect that the recent
advance in the securities Of that road
was due to the expectation OF in
creased prof from extensions now in
course OF construction. R.adipg was
adversely affected by the announce
ment Of an appeal in the foreclosure
suit, but later friends OF the syndicate
expressed the opinion that it would
not materially interfere with the re-
organization and a somewhat better
feeling resulted. The usually active
stocks were all dull and lifeless
throughout toe day and iheir huctua-
tons and final changes wers of no
importance whatever. The opening
was tame and embarrassing, but fairly |
steady, with first prices showing only |
slight changes which were about |
equally divided between gains aud |
losses. The market was heavy in the
early trading, Reading, however,
being decidedly weak although the
losses recorded were fractions only.
There was slight recovery late in the
first hour and Fort Worth and Denver
advanced one per cent. The market
then became steady but remained
extremely dull through the general
stagnation was relieved by squirt in
Texas Pacific during the afternoon.
There was another period of hesvi.
ness in the last hour, and the IN srkst
CLOSED rather heavy aud dull. The
active stocks are generally lower this
evening, but declines in no Case ex-
coed per cent, while, among the few
advances recorded, Fors Worth and
Denver ia up ) per cent. Railroad
bonds for everything but Fort Worth
and Denver hrsts were dull. The
sales today aggregated $1,132,000, of
which Fort Worth and Denver firsts
contributed $l50,OOO, though their
movements were comparatively slight,
closing per cent. higher, at 9ls. The
general list was somewhat irregular
but firm. There was heavy selling of
South Carolina firsts on rumors that
the company will not pay the April
coupon, and those bonds declined 7
per cent, to 993.
The total sales OF stocks today were
1873, 1876 shares, including Delaware,
Lackawanns and Western, $3.50;
Erie, $500; Lake Shore, 1850; Louis.
